AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
109 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA MOVES OFFSHORE AS DEVELOPING LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THAT LOW MOVES NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY A STRONG COLD FRONT
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. DEEP LOW PRESSURE TO THE NORTH SATURDAY MOVES TO
THE CANADIAN MARITIMES LATE THIS WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
BEHIND THE LOW EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WEAK LOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA
TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS OVER THE AREA SLIDES TO THE EAST
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WITH THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE HIGH STILL
IMPACTING THE REGION...WILL KEEP CONDS DRY FOR TODAY. CLOUDS AHEAD
OF A WARM FRONT OVER THE TN/OH VALLEYS WILL STREAM NORTHWARD
TOWARDS THE LOCAL AREA...SO CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE
DAY...WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED OVER WESTERN ZONES BY LATE
AFTERNOON...AND OVER EASTERN ZONES BY THIS EVENING.

EASTERLY FLOW CONTINUES. TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL...TOPPING OFF IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S. BUT TEMPS WILL HOLD
STEADY AND MAY START TO FALL IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE CLOUDS STREAM
EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
LOW PRES OVER THE MIDWEST MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY THIS
EVENING...THEN TRACKS TOWARDS WESTERN NY/PA TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...A
SECONDARY LOW WILL FORM OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...THEN SLIDE NORTH ALONG THE COAST TOWARDS NYC BY
DAYBREAK FRIDAY. THE NEW LOW WILL THEN MERGE WITH THE PARENT LOW
OVER CENTRAL NY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AND AS IT DEPARTS...WILL DRAG A
STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA.

RAIN DEVELOPS OVER WESTERN ZONES THIS EVENING AS WARM FRONT LIFTS
INTO THE REGION. TEMPS ACROSS NW PORTIONS OF ORANGE COUNTY WILL BE
COLD ENOUGH AT THE ONSET FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX...EVENTUALLY CHANGING
TO PLAIN RAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT AS WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH AND TEMPS
RISE INTO THE UPPER 30S. WILL FOLLOW A NON-DIURNAL CURVE FOR
TONIGHT THROUGHOUT THE REGION AS TEMPS SLOWLY RISE THROUGH THE 40S
ELSEWHERE.

DEEP UPPER TROUGH DIGS INTO THE EAST COAST AS THE SECONDARY LOW
MOVES NORTH. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERAL STRONG
SHORTWAVES...AND A LOW-LEVEL JET OF 65-75 KT FROM 925-850 MB.
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED OVER THE AREAS AS THIS LLJ TRACKS
EAST ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY MORNING. BEST CHANCES FOR LOW-TOPPED
CONVECTION WILL BE DURING THIS TIME...AND THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL
OCCUR IN BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN. WIND GUSTS WILL APPROACH WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA OF 40-45 MPH...BUT LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
OF AT LEAST 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. WINDS
DIMINISH A BIT AFTER DEPARTURE OF LLJ...BUT COLD FRONT SWINGS
THROUGH THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON...AND GUSTS COULD AVERAGE
45-50 MPH BRIEFLY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. TIGHT WESTERLY GRADIENT
WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL FALL BETWEEN 09Z-15Z...THEN BECOMES MORE
SHOWERY FOR THE AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT AND SEVERAL
STRONG SHORTWAVES SLIDE THROUGH THE REGION. WITH ONSET OF COLD AIR
ADVECTION FRIDAY NIGHT...TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE 20S ACROSS THE
INTERIOR AND INTO THE LOW/MID 30S ACROSS COASTAL AREAS. RAIN WILL
MIX WITH AND CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR...WHILE A
RAIN/SNOW MIX IS LIKELY FOR COASTAL AREAS.

HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID/UPPER 40S...WITH SOME LOW
50S POSSIBLE ACROSS NYC/LONG ISLAND. THE HIGHER THE SFC TEMPS
REACH...THE BETTER THE CHANCES FOR THE STRONGER WINDS TO MIX DOWN
TO THE SURFACE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH PIVOTS EAST SATURDAY...WITH SOME POSITIONAL
AND TIMING DIFFERENCES NOTED IN NCEP AND VARIOUS GLOBAL MODELS.
THIS ANOMALOUS TROUGH SLOWLY DEPARTS TO THE NORTHEAST...WITH A
FAST WESTERLY FLOW PREVAILING BEHIND IT. A COUPLE OF WEAK
SHORTWAVES MOVE ACROSS THE AREA BEHIND THIS TROUGH...ONE LATE THIS
WEEKEND AND ANOTHER TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH TOUGH TO TIME IN THIS FAST
FLOW.

THEN ATTENTION TURNS TO DEEPENING TROUGH OUT WEST AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE ROCKIES. UNCERTAINTY ARISES ONCE THIS ENERGY MOVES EAST
OF THE ROCKIES TO THE PLAINS STATES BY WEDNESDAY.

MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED SATURDAY...WITH PLENTY OF
CLOUDS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE STACKED LOW. COULD SEE A
PASSING SNOW SHOWER OR FLURRY.

WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW PICKS UP AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. QUESTIONS
CONTINUE WITH REGARD TO HOW STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL BE...WITH GFS
MUCH MORE ROBUST WITH THESE WINDS IN THE MIXED LAYER...THUS
POTENTIAL FOR GREATER THAN 40 KT GUSTS. NAM MUCH LESS SO AT THIS
TIME DUE TO SLOWER MOVEMENT OF OVERALL SYSTEM.

DRY WEATHER CONTINUES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. POSSIBLE LIGHT PRECIP
TUESDAY...IF ECMWF IS TO BE BELIEVED. THIS DUE TO PRESENCE OF WEAK
LOW AND ASSOCIATED UPPER SHORTWAVE. LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING
THOUGH IN THIS FAST PATTERN 5 TO 6 DAYS IN ADVANCE.

HIGH PRESSURE ENSURES DRY WEATHER AT LEAST EARLY WEDNESDAY...THEN
ENERGY FROM WESTERN SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED AS SFC
FRONT/LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES.

TEMPS REMAIN AT OR BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MUCH OF THIS PERIOD. THIS
SUPPORTED BY LATEST HPC NUMBERS/GMOS AND MEX GUIDANCE.

&&
